I think you're missing the point here, Robin. Take a typical home stereo system and crank the volume to max. According to my estimate, the effects on SPL of a distortion component at -144db are smaller than the effects on SPL due to random Brownian motion of air molecules. Which means -144db distortion is not even measurable (acoustically), let alone audible - it's really an operationally meaningless concept, at least as far as acoustics go. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45736 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
